It allows to start tomcat or any server process, monitors it and restarts it if it dies. And it provide the same interface on windows and unix, integrating in the service manager for windows and using a C deamon on unix. It can be used to start all other tools - with all the control you want ( like setting classpaths, JVM parameters, etc ). BTW, tomcat already provide a way to start itself without any scripts ( i.e. java -jar tomcat.jar / java -jar catalina.jar ), and in 3.3 most tools can be started this way. Creating few additional executable jars for jspc, etc is quite easy and doesn't require any native code. You can use some of the 3.3 introspection code that will 'guess' the CLASSPATH from the command line and construct the class path - it is almost completely equivalent with tomcat.sh. ( the only missing part is that you can't set jvm parameters after you started, but that can be solved with an exec ).
